Tuesday

Trump may get the lower interest rates and weaker dollar he craves to reduce the cost of his own debt payments and (he thinks) boost his own crypto holdings, but the trade off will be that the US will be in a recession with higher unemployment and close to double digit inflation, right before the midterms.

Yay?
